I think we will see a patch since Arceus got one. I doubt we'll see a Switch Dane patch because it won't be out until Gen 10 imo

While I agree they should get a lot more time, please dont spread misinformation about dev cycle. For one this game was not dev in 2 years, that is insane. We don't know their pipeline, at best we know who is working on what based on the credits.
No Pro for 3 years?I think we will see a patch since Arceus got one. I doubt we'll see a Switch Dane patch because it won't be out until Gen 10 imo
Hmm I don't expect a rerelease since Sword and Shield didn't get one, right? Just a bundle at best?Well, that's technically true, it'll be interesting to see what comes after this. A re-release with dlc included next year seems like a fair guess, and then perhaps they'll have outsourced another remake, probably of BW as the first title for the switch follow up the year after that? Since it'll surely be out in 2024
Not spreading misinformation. Here is a well researched video with estimated development times. 18-24 months is par the course for these games.
I captured these videos with visual glitches that bugged me. I didn't do it when the camera clipped through the ground during a battle and I could see the "underworld", but that one has been documented by others:

<3Anyway I'm happy that despite the whole review debacle we are able to discuss the topic in a civil and not toxic manner here. Famiboards really is a special community, it's probably the only place on the internet where you can discuss Nintendo without it diverting to the usual tired discourse.
I'm sure when the game comes out we will also be able to discuss the game itself and not be trapped in a neverending spiral of complaining about graphics and performance which is also something that used to bother me a lot. So thanks to everyone for that
2025 is my betNo Pro for 3 years?
When is the Fami-Tournament arc (or Raids) date?Anyway I'm happy that despite the whole review debacle we are able to discuss the topic in a civil and not toxic manner here.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. It's crazy to me with gamefreak making literal truck loads of money off the pokemon IP, that their games have such bad performance issues most of the time.Yeah, I'd been thinking for a while that I'd be skipping this. Legends didn't really do all that much for me either, even if I appreciated the changes to the traditional formula. I really like the idea of open-world Pokemon and a Spain-inspired region, but with Legends leaving me a little flat (not that I disliked it, just didn't really make any impact on me), and with Sword/Shield especially disappointing me, I don't think there's much point in me spending time and money on this (not least when I've stockpiled stuff on my Switch and am planning to use my Series S more in the near future).
I'm sure it'll be an enormous hit, and I'm sure plenty of people will find a lot to enjoy. I'm still rooting for Game Freak to really pull things out the bag and deliver an excellent game that doesn't have this now familiar mix of technical short-comings and under-realised potential.
How much of that was preplanning and how much of that was active development? How did the pandemic effect what they could get done? Without any context to what "starting development" means this article and that tweet doesn't say much. What we do know is when they wrapped up development of their prior games which is what that video uses as a timeline. And that's important because we have a better sense of when full development came together rather than a vague statement saying "we started at this time."I wouldnt call the video "well researched" when this year it was showed that Arceus dev started in fall 2018 and SV started in 2019, as SwSh were about to release that more the the 18-24 months stated.

I just can't see Nintendo riding with this switch for 2-2.5 more years. There needs to be a revision/successor next year imo.2025 is my bet
I think they'll switch it up within the next 2.5 years too, but I can definitely see them riding it thru the next year, since we already have software that we know will be supported through it and since recent reports often hit the key on the fact that "we are manufacturing less Switches than we could be selling".I just can't see Nintendo riding with this switch for 2-2.5 more years. There needs to be a revision/successor next year imo.
When I say there NEEDS to be that may just be me being too hopeful. But that's where I'm at.

Here is a video of Nintendo saying they started earnestly developing BotW in January 2013, nearly a year and few months after Skyward Sword dropped.
This contradicts what Anouma said when he said BotW started immediately after skyward sword.
The big Zelda: Breath of the Wild interview
For many, the highlight of last week's Nintendo Switch event was the beautiful new look at The Legend of Zelda: Breath …www.eurogamer.net
There are preplanning and design phases for any game. This is par the course. Link between worlds three developers spent an entire year prototyping the game themselves until they got a full team assembled for active development.
Iwata Asks - The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - Page 1
Read the in-depth interview conducted by former Nintendo Global President Satoru Iwata.iwataasks.nintendo.com
The Link between worlds team would not fully expand until a full team until late 2012.
A company can say they "started development" at any time but that's meaningless without full details. In the same way we can infer that Nintendo has been planning "new hardware" since the Switch launched. Doesn't mean they were printing SoC's out in 2017.
"Three years" of development factoring in time to preplan and concept out a game isn't enough time to make modern games regardless. Especially one with the scope and size of Pokemon.
One thing Game Freak does have working for it is that people want to play this game. People want open-world Pokémon. Game Freak may be struggling to get there, but it’s been really cool to be able to see it getting closer with each new generation.
The game world is excessively empty, not only because of the lack of density of vegetation and other elements, but for the lack of activities. Cities contrast a bit with this, expressing life, with happy NPCs walking back and away, and lots of shops to enter, where you can buy clothes and accessories for your character. Outside the cities, you'll only find huge beams of light on the horizon, symbolizing the crystals where you can participate in Tera Raid Battles (which are virtually identical to the Max Raid Battles of the previous game). Pokémon Scarlet and Violet had a lot to gain if they had been postponed.
Pokemon Scarlet is that product that many fans requested, with a vast open world to explore, an adventure without ties, and an exploration full of surprises. The game achieves everything I just mentioned, and there is no doubt about that. The main issue is that the game makes a lot of technical sacrifices to achieve everything the fans asked for. The result is a title that performs poorly at times that may not matter but happens many times. The gameplay is entertaining, solid, and deep, but it's all wrapped up in a broken package.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is the biggest leap the franchise has made since its arrival to 3D, but there is a real need for the series, an urgency even, to tackle the technical performance.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet are excellent games, and, if it weren't for the technical problems, they would surpass the feats of Legends: Arceus, which started a necessary evolution in the classic Nintendo franchise. The game features a beautiful open world full of Pokémon, so you never feel like you're exploring something empty. The Pokémon campaigns finally showed an interesting maturity, which seems to want to keep up with the audience that has so much prestige to the series since 1995, without losing the children's audience that still drives purchases. However, most of Scarlet & Violet's potential is wasted simply by avoidable technical issues such as a lack of graphical and performance polish. A game of this relevance within a franchise of this magnitude cannot succumb to repeating these mistakes and not improving, especially in light of the criticism that the latest title has had.
No, Monolith already got leeched enough with ZeldaJust give Pokemon to Monolith Soft
I actually can't recall the last time technical performance featured so heavily in the reviews of a major blockbuster release. It's amazing how consistent the complaints are. I'm actually surprised.more reviews

It's the lowest for a brand new gen.Is this the lowest metacritic score of ANY mainline Pokemon game?
Hilariously, Pokemon Emerald has a lower metacritic score, despite often being considered one of the best games by the community.Is this the lowest metacritic score of ANY mainline Pokemon game?
Did you not see Gotham Knights reviews? Or Cyberpunk? GTA Trilogy (even if they are old)? Its not uncommon. For the franchise its more recent, cause even Arceus did not get as many performance complains, mostly visuals.I actually can't recall the last time technical performance featured so heavily in the reviews of a major blockbuster release.

Nothing says new hardware like an underwhelming ILCA remake haha
I didn't even know there was a game called Gotham Knights.Did you not see Gotham Knights reviews? Or Cyberpunk? GTA Trilogy (even if they are old)? Its not uncommon. For the franchise its more recent, cause even Arceus did not get as many performance complains, mostly visuals.
I havent touch CP but apparently its way better now. There are still some issues, mostly due to design, but at least you dont fall of the face of the game lolI didn't even know there was a game called Gotham Knights.
Cyberpunk is the answer - well done, that was the one I was trying to think of. That game got slaughtered. I still haven't played it.
Gotta agree that Emerald being lower is pretty funnyIt's the lowest for a brand new gen.
Pokémon Emerald (76) and Pokémon BDSP (73) are lower. The score of the former is especially funny because Emerald is one of the best games in the series and a big fan favorite.
The other third versions were no different, if anything emerald was more impactful than yellow/crystalIt's easy to forget because it was so long ago, but Emerald did very little new outside of the battle frontier (not to undersell that, but...). It's not a surprise the metascore wasn't that great.

til!SwSh did get a re-release with the dlc on the card. That's when I bought Sword.
You know, I can't honestly think of any time a Pokémon game was nominated for a GOTY award. The games always sold well, but they were never the cream of the crop critically.When was the last time Pokemon was nominated for any GOTY awards?
Nintendo games almost always doGame is expected to unlock at 12am ET, correct?
I don’t usually watch Digital Foundry videos but I think I’ll tune into that one I know it’s going to be entertaining to watch ( for me atleast )Almost dreading the Digital Foundry video, cause holy shit that's going to be a fucking bloodbath
